The Philodendron pedatum 'Glad Hands' is an elegant and sought-after variety due to its unique leaf shape. Unlike the classic pedatum, this form has a thinner, elongated, and highly dissected leaf, resembling a slender hand—hence the name Glad Hands. The juvenile leaves are simpler, then become increasingly dissected with age. A vigorous plant that adapts to any environment. However, to promote its growth and vibrant coloration, it is recommended to place it in a bright room.
